==Divestitures== * In August 2012, Lexmark announced that it would stop production of its inkjet printer line.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lexmark announces restructuring|url=http://newsroom.lexmark.com/2012-08-28-Lexmark-announces-restructuring| access-date=August 28, 2012| publisher=Lexmark | date=August 28, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Lexmark to exit inkjet printer market| url=http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/376615/lexmark-to-exit-inkjet-printer-market| date=August 28, 2012| publisher=pcpro.co.uk| access-date=August 28, 2012}}</ref> In April 2013, [[Funai|Funai Electric Company, Ltd.]] announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire Lexmark's [[inkjet technology]] and assets for approximately $100 million (approximately [[Japanese yen|¥]]9.5 billion). Funai acquired more than 1,500 inkjet patents, Lexmark's inkjet-related research and development assets and tools, all outstanding shares and the manufacturing facility of Lexmark International (Philippines), Inc., and other inkjet-related technologies and assets.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://newsroom.lexmark.com/2013-04-01-Funai-acquiring-Lexmarks-inkjet-related-technology-and-assets | title=Funai acquiring Lexmark's inkjet-related technology and assets | publisher=Newsroom.lexmark.com | date=April 1, 2013 |access-date= September 21, 2013}}</ref> * In 1996, Lexmark International was prepared to shut their Lexington keyboard factory where they produced Model M buckling-spring keyboards. IBM, their principal customer—and the Model M's original designer and patent holder—had decided to remove the Model M from its product line in favor of cheaper Asian-made rubber-dome keyboards. Rather than seeing its production come to an end, a group of former Lexmark and IBM employees purchased the factory and, in April 1996, reestablished the business as [[Unicomp]], making their own modernized versions of the Model M keyboard.
